About this property

Retreat In The Woods

This lovely home is located in a quiet corner of the northern Berkshires. It is located just over a mile from beautiful Tannery Falls in the Savoy State forest. It is a good home base from which to do area hiking as well as day trips to area attractions in the Berkshires.
The house has a large combined living room and fully-equipped kitchen with cathedral ceilings. Both bedrooms look out on the woods - one with a queen bed and one with a double bed. The bedroom with the double bed has a screened in porch. The spacious bathroom has a stand-up shower and a 2-person jacuzzi tub.
There is a hiking trail and wetlands in the woods behind the house. The house is also located across from Starseed Healing Sanctuary and Holistic Retreat Center, which has a number of trails and interesting spots to visit such as a peace labyrinth.
For cold weather stays, please note that the primary source of heat is wood stove. Cord wood, fire starting materials and instructions are provided, but you would have to be comfortable operating the wood stove yourself. The house is very well insulated and gets great solar gain on sunny days, so while it may not be needed at all times, the stove is certainly needed some of the time during the winter and shoulder seasons. There are plug-in electric heaters in the bedrooms so you don't have to operate the stove during sleeping hours.

Another peaceful visit to Cricket Hollow
This is our second summer visiting Cricket Hollow and we greatly enjoyed our time in at this property. It's a lovely house, with well appointed rooms, fabulous open living/kitchen plan and the most peaceful screened reading porch. Our family enjoyed connecting with nature in the woods behind the house, exploring, and visiting the beaver habitat every day. You come here to truly disconnect and focus on relaxing and spending quality uninterrupted with your fellow travelers. We'll be back!

Heavenly house!
The cabin couldn't have been nicer. Spacious and clean, simple decor (no cheesy cabin art), a kitchen well-stocked with every appliance and dish for eating in, quiet surroundings, pitch-dark and peaceful at night, discreet owners who were still available if needed. This is a real gem, an 11/10!

Surrounded by nature
The property was very close to great hiking, waterfalls, and great views! A little far from a grocery store, but had other small general stores and restaurants not too far. Great little place to get away with family and get out in nature!

Snowy winter
A lovely getaway exactly as advertised and communication was excellent. Sitting around 1700’, it gave us the healthy dose of winter, snow and sledding we had been hoping for. Cricket Hollow is a cozy and well maintained cabin and a kitchen that had what we needed. The wood stove (we both have experience with them) was great and got the place warm quickly and the fan spread the heat enough into the bedrooms we didn’t need to use the space heaters. Definitely recommend.
